Abstract :
According to the global air pollution Crisis, it seems necessary to finding
a way for cars pollutions. The Combination of alcoholic fuels with
gasoline is one of the methods to reduce pollutions. For optimizing
engine performance, fuel availability, toxicity and political advantage, a
blend of ethanol, methanol and gasoline is likely to be preferable to using
any of these individual substances alone. So the purpose of this paper is
studying methanol, ethanol and gasoline blend effect on engine
emissions at different engine speed. The simulated model was validated
in different RPMs of gasoline engine at full load condition. The effect of
combined fuel injection in the simulated model was investigated and
compared with the experimental results. The results of simulation have
good agreement with experiments. The results show that by ethanol and
methanol with gasoline blend CO and HC emissions are lower than
gasoline mode, but the NOx and CO2 pollutants increases.
